Steel Magnolias

Presenter:

Canberra Theatre Centre & Blackbird Productions

Description:

Starring Jacki Weaver, Ana Maria Belo, Marian Frizelle, Jennifer Hagan, Debra Lawrance, Geraldine Turner

Steel Magnolias serves up a slice of life in Louisiana that’s as warm and comforting as sweet potato pie.

In the haven of Truvy’s beauty salon, six very different women come together to share their secrets and bare their souls, throwing in a little neighbourly gossip for good measure. From weddings to divorces, babies to funerals, new beginnings to happy endings, they weather every event with grace, determination and perfectly coiffed hair. When tragedy strikes, it is in Truvy’s salon where the women seek the solace and support to carry them through.

Fans of Robert Harling’s hit film and play can enjoy this enduring comedy and heart-felt celebration of love, loyalty, and the bonds of sisterhood live on stage with some of Australia’s best-loved actresses.
